Please help me.

I need to stop talking about things and just do them. I started packing stuff up to get the fuck out of this place but then I stopped and sat down and started writing about it here, starting talking.

I need to stop talking. I need to stop writing. I need to get the fuck out of here.

But I’m a little stuck. I’m very dependent on father. I need to get away from that. Where do I go. Where the fuck do I go. That’s the question.

I feel like I’m just gonna say fuck it and move up to NYC anyway. No schooling. Nothing. A loser. What is with this? I had so much potential. Now I’m nothing. I probably should get some college schooling, it would be best for the future.

Probably. But then, if I risk it all, risk not having anything. Ever. Well, then, maybe it’ll come still? Probably not.

I may just have to give in. I just can’t waste another year. I can’t—you know what, fuck my father. What a crazy son of a bitch. (And I don’t like his mom to boot.)

(Bitch.)

This is bullshit.

Paul Thomas Anderson is a lot more talented than I am. He didn’t go to college because he’s better than me.

That’s bullshit. He’s probably just more driven than me or something.

But I could drive. I can.

Maybe I should hitchhike. Maybe I should walk. Maybe I should be a loser.

Maybe I should write. Maybe I should get no support from my dad whatsoever.

“Please let me leave.” I was gonna ask dad to let me use the car but I started crying, that’s why I quoted that there, expecting to post the answer here.

But the answer here: I don’t know where I’m going.

That potential you said you use to have is still there, and so PTA didnt go to college, what you need to do is stop fucking comparing yourself to Paul freakin Thomas Anderson and start being being Jon Strong! The kid with all the potential, the kid everyone knows is gonna go somewhere once he pulls himself together! You did say 2 things that are very true… we are all dependant on…

… something and you happen to be dependant on your father and his providing for you, and not providing for yourself, that doesnt mean you cant do it yourself, you have that in you, you are a strong minded son of bitch, I know this! lol But if you wanna go to NY, then go, but have a point in going… go to school, make something of yourself… and stop talking about becoming something…

… and just go do it… cause I know youre not all talk, youve said things about your films and pulled them off, you can say your gonna go to NY and make something of yourself and really do it… I believe that you can… Take Care Johnny boy, Dave
